| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the Smart Forms relay editor, WPS provides an entry for Fill in the Blank Question so you can open the editor, adjust settings, preview the result, and confirm the change. | Microsoft Forms lets you create quizzes and add a Text question type for typed responses, but the official page does not present a separate fill-in-the-blank question type. | Google Forms provides a Short answer question type and supports required responses and validation rules for text input. | Notion Forms supports text questions, required settings, and long-answer options, with questions connected to database properties. | Adobe Acrobat Sign provides text fields and other form fields for collecting input, but its official guidance focuses on signable or web forms rather than quiz-style blank-answer checking. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry is part of the relay editing flow, so creators can move from question setup to preview and confirmation in one place. | Compared with WPS: The official workflow centers on general quiz question types, with Text used as the closest match instead of a dedicated relay-style blank question flow. | Compared with WPS: Similar results rely on a general short-answer question plus validation settings. | Compared with WPS: Text questions are flexible and connected to databases, but creation and customization are described mainly for desktop and web apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on signable and web form collection than on quiz-oriented blank-answer workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to configure a blank-answer question directly inside a WPS Smart Forms relay workflow, WPS offers a more direct path inside the same editing flow. Other products can support similar text-input collection, but their official guidance is positioned more around general forms, database-backed forms, or signable web forms.
